Our PhD in Economics is designed to:

  • give you greater depth to your professional life

We are a research intensive and generalist economics subject group. Our members have specialisation in all three foundational areas of economics. We use both theoretical and applied methods, including:

  • microeconomics
  • macroeconomics
  • econometrics
Our members of staff often publish on a wide range of topics in top generalist and field journals. This includes:

  • Economics Journal
  • International Economics Review
  • Review of Economics and Statistics
  • Journal of Economic Theory
  • Journal of Economic Growth
  • Journal of Development Economics
  • Journal of Money, Credit and Banking
  • Journal of Health Economics
  • Journal of International Money and Finance
  • Journal of Financial Stability

Members of the group are part of several funded research projects. These are awarded by research councils and international organisations.

We have a vibrant research community. They organise a rich and regular series of external and internal seminar presentations throughout the year.

As a PhD student, you'll have the opportunity to present your research to colleagues in an informal and encouraging setting.

The economics groups offer supervision across the broad range of:

  • microeconomics
  • macroeconomics

We have many doctoral students in these areas.

We encourage you to examine the research interests of our Economics staff to find out more about our expertise. We welcome informal enquiries.
